Hi,

I am trying to find which technique is followed in TBH to pass data between pages(Content Pages). Is there any popular technique that we can follow to pass data from one form to another form except the old querystring, sessions, cookies etc. And another question I wanted to ask is how do we preserve form data between postbacks? I could not recognize if TBH is following any techniques while going through the book.
Any help or any resource links are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

TBH uses the querystring mostly. Tried, true, and easy. Not secure, but then again not everything needs to be secure.

The other most common way is to cross-post or use Server.Transfer, then either read the properties and/or control values from the previous page, or read the Form collection directly.

While you can use a state-handling mechanism like Session, Cookies, Context, etc. to pass values between pages, that would be ridonkulous. Like hiring a semi to mail a letter.

Umm... is it... ViewState? Do I win a prize? LOL, just kidding.

By the way -- are you studying for a test or something?

Hi,

Thanks for the responses. I actually know .Net 1.1 but not good at 2.0 so I started studying the TBH book and trying to compare 1.1 and 2.0 and I liked this book very much.
I was wondering if we can use PreviousPage property if we are using master - content pages? Can a content page use PreviousPage property so it can read the values of another content page? anyways thanks for the helpful answers.

Sure, no problem there. Once the master page control is consumed by the content page, they are no different than any other page as far as the runtime is concerned.
